Before you include a quotation in your essay, ask yourself:<\/p>\n
Which point of mine does the quotation support?
\nWhy should the passage be quoted rather than paraphrased or summarized?
\nWhat do my readers need to know about the quotation\u2019s author?<\/p>\n
As you integrate quotations into your draft, ask yourself:<\/p>\n
\u039f\u00a0 Have I sufficiently introduced the quotation with a phrase or sentence?
\n\u039f\u00a0 Will my readers know whom I am quoting and why?
\n\u039f\u00a0 Does the quotation fit smoothly into my own sentence?<\/p>\n
As you revise your work, ask yourself:<\/p>\n
\u039f\u00a0 Have I strung together too many quotations?
\n\u039f\u00a0 Have I used long quotations sparingly?
\n\u039f\u00a0 Have I used quotation marks properly and documented each quote?<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t Candela Citations<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t
